Fallout 3 Cancelled in India Due To “Cultural Sensitivities”
Fallout 3 has seen its release cancelled across India by Microsoft according to GamingIndians.
Often games aren’t released in India due to poor sales or high costs, but MS have decided to use “cultural sensitivities” as their reasoning. Seemingly unaware of ALL THE OTHER GAMES out in India right now, such as GTA or even Postal.
Microsoft constantly endeavors to bring the best games to Indian consumers in sync with their international release. However, in light of cultural sensitivities in India, we have made the business decision to not bring Fallout 3 into the country.
What “cultural sensitivities”? Perhaps Microsoft are referring to all the people culturally sensitive to wanting to play decent games? Is there some hidden “kill all the Indians” level we are unaware of?

Maybe there’s cow killing in Fallout 3.
Yes, that was religiously and culturally insensitive.
By cultural sensitivities I’d wager it had something to do with Fallout’s post-apocalyptic setting and India’s constant nuclear tension with Pakistan.
